The Galmont Hotel & Spa

Did not have breakfast and meeting friends. Room large and v comfortable. my husband worked from the room. Pool was lovely and steam room. Staff at reception v helpful. Bar staff scarce and may need further training but there was party on in hotel. great having water option like sparkling and double filtered in corridor.

Beautiful hotel and friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing but dinner wasn’t as good as I expected. Ordered steak which was very underwhelming for nearly 40 euro nothing on the plate that cheered it up looked like a 6oz steak with a bit of goo (minced mushroom puree) in half a red onion. Very disappointing. My mum had chowder as her main and she said it wasn’t nice she left half. We also waited a while on it and most of our dinner was just warm. One sent back her lamb dish as it was cold in the middle. Staff replaced it tho and that was the nicest dinner on the table. We waited a while on everything so didn’t stay for desert as 40 other guesses arrived for dinner and I think we got overlooked because of them. We all used the spa facilities, treatments were amazing however again I was a little disappointed the no robe was offered beforehand especially to my mother who was getting her first ever facial and had everything done in her jumper and clothes. So when she came out to met us in thermal relaxing room she was fully dressed and we left not long after that as she didn’t want to go back in and get changed. I never got offered my robe before hand either, I did after facial. I think you should be stripped and in robe and slippers before starting any treatment as more relaxing.

The staff were excellent - Katie and Hela on reception in particular were so helpful, efficient, and knew exactly what I needed for my stay. Big comfy bed, Elemis products in the bathroom (shampoo conditioner combo that I'll go out and buy), fridge in the room - all good.

We've been to the Galmont a few times before and it's always been really good. The staff are lovely, the rooms clean and the location is fabulous, just off Eyre Square. We had accidentally booked two rooms instead of one and this was sorted out for us quickly which I appreciated. The breakfast spread was fabulous both mornings. Unlike some other hotels, it's worth having breakfast in the Galmont.

All the staff were so lovely especially the reception staff. We were given a complimentary upgrade as we were celebrating our engagement which was absolutely beautiful over looking the river. The beds are very comfortable and the level of house keeping was top class. The location is absolutely perfect for a Galway city trip, less than 5 minute walk to eyre square yet tucked out of the busyness so it is quiet.
